Mandatory drug and alcohol testing programs for employees in positions that hold a bearing on the safety of others have been a controversial topic since their inception. While there are multiple arguments that can be made for and against these programs, it has been proven time and time again that these tests are not worth the costs, nor are they justifiable for the company.
